It did show over those few years WK something you remember Carter did fall out with alot of riders ie) PC and at that time i took Collins side.Peter was a rider everyone respected and even Eric Boocock said if only Carter could of been less brash with it looking back i do believe Carter would of made a brilliant world champion 82 he was robbed by a crazy rule. GREAT POST and you really have a strong case "falcace" for me i suppose i sometimes get blinded by riders who did not quite do it but were class acts.Wilson, E.Boocock,Betts,Ashby,Adams,Sigalos,P.Crump all come into that category.Also you see loads more of Mort than me and at Hyde Rd was a sight to be seen he was one of a few who could beat Nielsen on merit.Mort's pass of Carter in the Northern riders Championship is one of the greatest passes i have ever seen top class a top rider TOP bloke to.

Can you ever see a 16 year old lad now ever coming into the top league and beating and mixing it with the best Lee was a one off one of the best riders i have ever seen.

Is Robert like Lee in some respect did Lynn lose a few supporters when he left? Bettsy who had a huge following was nearing the end so that time was a strange period for the club.

NO i personally dont think Woffinden at his best would beat Lee /Collins. Craven i did not see ride but his record speaks for itself.Also in yesteryear when Briggo/Mauger (ect) rode in British Final's it was mighty tough to qualify for a WF now i think Grand Prix results are percentage results.

No he is number five quite easily for me and his CV is not as good as Simmo and did he score a maximum in a peak WTC year like Wilson ? No also was he placed in a WF like Louis NO. Yes can see your point of view WK and at club level Carter was quite a selfish rider for usually a weak Halifax team riding for England he was different.

He was good around Hyde Rd but the Northern Riders/ and the 83 BLRC he was not at his best also i felt the Shay was his home was not not that convinced with him at Odsal.

Frigbo , Eace's are both blokes who have there own opinion which surprised me Carter i did not think would be top of those five but for me he was a bit ahead.

Louis beat Crash from the back Wilson after a first ride fall that really cost Ashby it did hurt at the time but i was a big Bostik Willy fan anyway so it did not matter. You have a guess you tell me.??? 😀😜

WK you are a man i Respect !!! Carter at 5 really.😜🤓

Have been doing my ratings on the British riders over the years and these five riders i had pretty close together i wondered what your opinions were. my order. 1./ Carter. 2./ Simmons 3./ Wilson, 4./Louis 5./ Morton.

A different era and you need a different quality to win a one off world final harder in my opinion than to win the series .Havelock i was never a fan of i preferred Loram,Louis, .Dugard,Screen but he did reach the pinnacle which is a hell of a achievement as it stands at the moment i would still rate Craven,Lee,Collins higher than Woffinden but that could change in the future.

A great final all to play for still cant believe Lambert got second in the final Smektala decent can really gate well and showed in the final he can mix it.

You are one big mystery 😅

You do talk some crap as i have said before the one's i have met have been decent i dont worry about what other people think you remind me of a real seether.

There are still alot of positives about the sport at its best it is as good as anything speedway is also about meeting up with a couple of friends chewing the fat about the sport and having have a pint or two.Can the sport recover in this country i think so with the right vision a tough job but the potential of this sport is huge.For me seeing younger riders come through is what i enjoy the most hopefully English but i dont mind what nationality.Last week for example young Alfie Bowtell rode for the Budgies in reality with his limited experience he should of been out of his depth but he acquitted himself very well good on a bike and under pressure got a great point to beat Greaves.That point really got some of the crowd going a young English lad riding his balls off he is someone the fans can relate to and i hope he pushes on in his career and fair play to Newcastle for showing real faith in him.So yes it is still a great sport and there is still alot to like about it fingers crossed British speedway can improve all three leagues working closely TOGETHER ( Pigs might fly .😜)

I would be very confident if Zach was in the side we have really missed him and certainly with a fit Brad as well so i would favour Swindon only just.I would be quite happy with a narrow away defeat then beat them on agg at the Shabby whatever happens as Steve says it is not life/death and if Poole do it good luck to them in the final.

I might swap teams Steve just like Shovlar did all those years ago. 😀 saying that why would i there glory days are well and truely over Ford has to reinvent himself.

He wont be on the forum then as the official Poole spokesman who talks on behalf of all you Poole supporters.😂🤓

Where West Bay ???😜

GENTLEMAN.🤓😂

You make out people are moaning for the sake of it they are not, most are just FRUSTRATED they know how good the sport is the potential to be better is huge.You are someone i respect and yes lets be positive you always are to your credit but some of the problems there are odvious solutions yet nothing is happening.Also do the fans really get listened to they should do because i dont see a pretty end to our sport in this country unless common sense changes are made.

Are they all moaners the ones i have met have been decent, and our speedway is in such a mess in this country do you blame them this country without Aussie riders would be a disaster.

I think you are wrong those crowds over those four meetings are false and also if you love speedway should it matter if you are first or bottom.? are we all that fickle.? The new stadium for me is pie in the sky cant see it happening rather it stayed at the shabby anyway hope i am wrong and the new stadium happens but we shall see.

I think our team in general holds its crowd very well and Rosco and Lee Kilby have done great work that often is not mentioned.But i dont know what you think "beefy we have lost quite a few regular supporters we always used to get 1600 plus do we on a consistent basis now.?As i said our club is doing alot to try to get the new supporter in Rossiter/Kilby know that and both do as much as they can press wise on that side both are superb.

Great that the likes of you are still enjoying your speedway and after Hyde Rd who would think another track could rival it a track and stadium to be proud of.
